Chemistry Question on The solid state
Which of the following is not true about the ionic solids?
A
Bigger ions form the close packed structure
B
Smaller ions occupy either the tetrahedral or the octahedral voids depending upon their size
C
Occupation of all the voids is not necessary
D
The fraction of octahedral or tetrahedral voids occupied depends upon the radii of the ions occupying the voids
Answer
The fraction of octahedral or tetrahedral voids occupied depends upon the radii of the ions occupying the voids
Explanation
Solution
Number of tetrahedral voids are always double than octahedral voids.
